eeek

Parasitic twin, eh? One in every five hundred thousand births. Hmmm, another reason to cut back on the number of births! Don't be gobstopped if some of the fetishists decide that these brainless and sometimes limbless and faceless globs have the "right to life". Obviously, they can't stay where they are, especially if where they are is in the body of a two month old baby. What to do what to do? Will they decide to fund an artificial life support system for this odd conglomeration of cells and tissues? Or will the good ladies in Fred Phelps jolly band offer to be surrogate incubators and take these things to term?

Then they could get an extra pair of those gawdawful little pink feet; these ones would have an ittybitty battery in them so the footsies could move, to signify this life which is so sacred.

BLANCHE wouldn't want to bore anyone, especially this fine cohort , but I have often wondered just which life is sacred. Are the lives of the Iraqi children who are being bombed, shot, starved, and exposed to disease and lack of medical care sacred? If so why isn't this band of bigoted bastards out making a human chain around the white house in WARshington? Why aren't they bombing the recruiting centres the way they're so quick to bomb clinics? Why aren't they supporting the bullies who shoot doctors and nurses and aiming them at the Generals and Colonels?

Well, what comes first to mind is that those targets are apt to shoot back whereas a two year old Iraqi dying of intestinal complications isn't apt to get very shirty with anyone.

BLANCHE is of the opinion if any of the Compulsory Pregnancy folks were to find themselves host to a brainless blob of flesh the parasitic twin wouldn't be the only mindless booby.

But we know about BLANCHE. BLANCHE has two daughters, two daughters-in-law and six grandgrrrrrrrrrrrrls and should any or all of them require the services of an abortion clinic I will accompany them. And Gawd prepare to welcome any wingnut who tries to hinder or harrass them because I am not a nice lady. I no longer have the sword of the Templars but I've got an arbutus cane and I can and will lay about with it with utmost vigour and what the military types call "extreme prejudice".
